The arrangertienf of the Viresi , essels, phi* un der the dire Lion of Capt. the Right Hon, Lord Cochrane, were made as fully as the state of•the 11. weather would admit, according to his Lordship's plan on the evening of the lint inst. and at eight o'clock on the same night , Ailey proceeded to thew tack, under a favourable strong wind from the north ward, and a flood tide, (preceded by some vessels filled with powder and shells, as proposed by his Lordship, with a view to explosion), led cin in the most. undaunted and &tenanted manner ,by Capt. Wooldridge, in the Mediator Fire-ship, the others following in sUCCChSIOII; but owing to the'oarktiess of she night, sevei al mistook then course, and failed. On their approadi to the enemy's ships, it was discovered that a boons was placed in front of their defeoce., This, however, the weight of the Medi. ator soon broke, and the, usual intrepidity and.bravery of. "British seamen overcame all difficulties. Ad vatteiog under zt heavy fire from the forts in the Isle of Aix, as well as from the ,enemy's ships, most of whichlcut or slipt their cables; and froin the confined anchorage, got on Shore, and thus avoided taking fire. At daylight the following morning, Lord Cochrane communicated to me by telegraph, that seven of the enemy's ships were on shore; and might he destroy ed. , I immediately made the signal for the fleet to unmoor and weigh, intending to'proceed with it to ette6i their destruaion.. 'The wind, however, being fresh from the northward, and the flood-tide running, rendered it too hazardous to run into Aix Roads • (from its shallow water); I therefore anchored again at the diStance of about three miles from the forts on the Island. _ _ I cannot 'speak in sufficient terns of admiration and applause of the vigerous_and gallant ati.ick wade by Lord Cochrane upon the French Linerof , ll-ttle Ships"which were on shore, As well as for his judi cious maiiner . of approaching them, and ph4cing No Tender will be rarive•i after One o'Clcek .n the 11 , of Treaty, nor any noticed, itnles: the Party; or 012 4010 far him, personally attend.

It is due to Rear-Adtbiral Stopford and Sr‘ Neale, that I should here take the opi.OrtUoity of acqUainting their Lordships. of .the handsonie arid earnest manner in which both these meritorionS Officer's had volunteered their services before the arrival of Lord Cochrane, to undertake an attack upon the enemy with Fire-Ships; and that, had not their Lordships fixed upon him to CondutSt the en. terprize, I have full confidence that the result of th4fr efforts would have been highly creditable to them.. .
